“She definitely returned down the line so I played the line,” said Fazekas, who had never played Boland.

Tiebreakers are nothing new to Fazekas. Her opponent today is Lakeland Christian’s’ Hannah Ridgeway, whom she went two tiebreakers with during the season. “It was a very, very long match, but on the whole I’m very happy about my game right now.”

Santa Fe girls were involved in one other extra set match and that was a comeback by Sarah Merritt and Elizabeth Lovely in defeating All Saints’ Madeline Weber and Helen Rosa.

Merritt and Lovely definitely dug themselves a hole giving away the first set, 6-1. But then the comeback began with a 7-5 grinding win before winning a 10-3 tiebreaker.

“It was all about working together and believing we could do it,” said Lovely.

“With the tremendous gust today, we had to manipulate shots,” said Santa Fe coach Chris Collany. “I told them just to believe they could come back.”

Making the No. 1 singles final today will be Jade White, a sixth grader, who her coach Dave Walker at Cornerstone Charter said: “She had a 9-4 record and was obviously good since she was five-years-old.” Charter has seven of 10 starters in middle school.
